Watch it from afar, And release from its grip, Surrender to the night’s healing touch. PAUSE… There’s nothing you can do, With the worries in your mind, All they are causing is stress. So breath them all out, And just be here now, Relief is yours to possess. Imagine them floating, One thought at a time, Out from your head into air. Let each exhale release, More what if’s and how’s, Til your mind is completely bare. PAUSE… Breathe… And release. Breathe… And relax. LONG PAUSE… There’s nothing you can’t handle, There’s nothing you can’t hold, You’re so much stronger than you know. Everything will be fine, Things are always working out, In ways that will help you grow.  PAUSE… And all of those things, That feel out of control, Unknowns that make you feel sick. Come deeply inside, And connect with yourself, Staying grounded is really the trick. PAUSE… Imagine them floating, One thought at a time, Out from your head into air. Let each exhale release, More what if’s and how’s, Til your mind is completely bare. PAUSE… Breathe… And release. Breathe… And relax. LONG PAUSE… There’s no good that comes, From holding the stress, In your body or deep in your mind. So let it all go, And open up space, Oh, the relief that you’ll find.  PAUSE… So sleep now, dear one, And surrender it all, The worries, the stress and the day. Rejuvenate your soul, As you rest deeply tonight, Everything is already okay.

Breathe… And let go. Breathe… And and lay back, Breathe… Deep and slow.  LONG PAUSE… It’s all in your head, This life that is yours, Each thought has created what’s here.  It’s all in your head, The solutions and cures, The possibilities, limitations and fears.  PAUSE… If you can embrace,  The power of your thoughts, And know that you are the one,  Who gets to decide,  What stays and what goes, The game of life can be fun.  LONG PAUSE… Just imagine the joy, That awaits here for you, When you get that you are in charge. Imagine the freedom, Of living your truth, What’s possible begins to enlarge. PAUSE… Accepting this truth, Means knowing yourself, Being honest with what you find, As you go exploring,  Your thoughts and your beliefs, And all those scripts in your mind.  PAUSE… It takes great care, Humility and grace, To sift through thoughts in your head. Forgive yourself now, For the ones that have hurt, You can choose kind ones instead.  PAUSE… The more that you practice,  Dissolving the thoughts,  That don’t align with your dreams. The more space you make, For thoughts that create,  That blossom, give life, and beam. LONG PAUSE… It’s all in your head, This life that is yours, Each thought will create what you see. It’s all in your head, So do the hard work,  Of creating thoughts that bring glee.  PAUSE… So what do you want, Apart from the scripts, That others have imparted on you? What do you want? It’s all here, you see, Go within and discover what’s true.  PAUSE… As you embrace,  The power of your thoughts, You know that you are the one,  Who gets to decide,  What stays and what goes, Oh, this life is quite fun.  Namaste, Beautiful 💗💗💗 Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors 💗💗💗 Check out all of our other podcasts at https://womensmeditationnetwork.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Just a few clicks makes it easy for you to listen on your favorite podcast player.  Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Settle yourself, Finding a comfortable position that lets you relax. LONG PAUSE Turn your focus inward, Noticing your breath, And letting each healing breath, Touch any pain or tension lingering in you. LONG PAUSE Continue breathing in relaxation, And, if any stray thought crosses your mind, just visualize it floating away for now. LONG PAUSE Now, imagine, if you can, sitting by crystal blue river on a cool spring day. PAUSE The sun is glowing brightly. The sky is sapphire blue. And the trees are coming alive with tiny, colorful buds. PAUSE The air is a mixture of the sun’s warmth and the cool crispness in the breeze. It feels lovely lapping against your cheeks. PAUSE Pause in this beauty, and take it in through your senses. PAUSE And now, imagine, if you can, an area of bubbles popping in the center of the river. The bubbles fascinate you, as they grow bigger and bigger. PAUSE After a moment, the bubbles seem to come together, as if forming a shape. PAUSE And, as you watch, a beautiful woman, rises from the bubbles, into the air before you. PAUSE She is robed in white buffalo, with onyx hair gently cascading around her. An silvery ethereal glow shimmers around her. PAUSE The maiden draws closer to you. She nods. Instinctively, you nod, too. “I am the Spirit of the Water,” she says. PAUSE Then, the maiden Invites you to the water’s edge. You follow and kneel on the bank, and at her encouraging, gently make a whirlpool with your hand. “The water is alive,” she says to you. “Feel the life of the water.” PAUSE A tiny pulse charges through your hand, As you continue making whirlpools. Feelings of life and renewal surge through you. The water is alive. PAUSE Then, the woman drifts back to the center of the river. She looks to the sky and raises her hands. A soft drum beats in the background. PAUSE After a moment, A flock of birds arrives and drinks the waters  of the river. They squawk and chirp, filled with life and energy. PAUSE Then a moose trots to the edge of the river, The tip of his nose nuzzling the life-giving water while his tongue partakes. PAUSE Moments later, The maiden raises her arms again. Within seconds, hundreds of colorful wildflowers bloom around the bank. Pink, yellow, blue, white flowers dot the landscape and send a pleasing, sweet aroma into the air. PAUSE A gurgling noise catches your attention. Gazing into the waters, you see dozens of fish gnawing on river grass and burbling. One jumps and wriggles in the air. PAUSE Then, the maiden draws close to you. She reaches into the river, cupping her hands, and offering you a drink. You accept and drink in the water. PAUSE As you drink, The life of the water, pulses through you, bestowing energy and power upon you. PAUSE The maiden nods to you, and returns to the center of the river, where a swell of bubbles brings her home to her water. PAUSE And, while you may not see her anymore, you feel her spirit,  The water’s spirit, bubbling in you. And you feel the beautiful wildflowers opening with life. And the birds singing with joy. And the animals rejuvenating, All from the life of the water. The water is alive in you.

Just a few clicks makes it easy for you to listen on your favorite podcast player.  Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Relax into the quiet, Set the day aside. Close your eyes and focus on you, On the rest you truly need. PAUSE… Imagine a healthy, perfect leaf, Floating on the breeze. Any type, any shape, any size will do, Its beauty yours to define. PAUSE… Perhaps it’s a lovely maple leaf, Its shape reminiscent of a star. Or a gorgeous oak leaf, wide and graceful, With curves like river bends.  PAUSE… Perhaps your leaf is young and tender, Green and vibrant, silky to the touch. Or maybe you’re seeing a vivid fall leaf, A flash of dazzling color.  PAUSE… Think about where your leaf has been, The sights it may have seen. Imagine the view of life from the air, The feel of gliding on the wind. PAUSE… Your leaf may be one of many, Part of a soaring team. Or it may be drifting on its own, Happy to follow the breeze’s whim. PAUSE… Your leaf is like no other, Even though it resembles the rest. If you look closely at its edges and arcs, You see its special quirks. Use your breath to sink deeper into peace, to feel as free as that leaf. Imagine yourself with no restrictions or worries, the breeze your only guide. LONG PAUSE… Now that you have a leaf in mind, Let your thoughts turn to its tree. Even when floating on the wind, It’s tied to where it began. PAUSE… Whether that tree is near or far, The connection always remains. The leaf is part of a family, A history rising up from a common seed. PAUSE… From small beginnings, a vast tree grows, Adding branches throughout the years. The leaf is proof of the tree’s dedication, Its determination to survive. PAUSE… No matter which branch it stems from, The leaf is part of the whole. It may not be sure where it's heading, But it always knows where it belongs. PAUSE… Think about how you’re like that leaf, Singular and yet one of many. A beautiful, strong free spirit, Carrying the potential of countless others. PAUSE… Or perhaps you’re still attached to your tree, Fluttering softly on your branch. Providing shade and oxygen, To take care of all those below. PAUSE… It’s easy to feel like leaves are too small, To do much on their own, But when energies align for the greater good, Each piece of the whole has meaning. PAUSE… So whether you’re off making your own way, Or you’re sticking closer to the tree, You’ll always be part of where you started, Always tied to your true home. As you inhale, try to feel your connections, the ties that make you who you are. As you exhale, think of what your spirit adds, how your strength supports those bonds. LONG PAUSE… Let those thoughts add to your peace, Let them fill you with confidence and grace. Just like the tree you come from, Your life has purpose and power. PAUSE… Long before you came into being, Nature’s plan was set. You are a part of that intention, And when the time is right, you’ll act. PAUSE… For now, accept that you matter, That your existence was by design. Let the weight of that knowledge make your heart smile, Let it make your spirits rise.  PAUSE… Each of us has a destiny, A path we’re meant to follow. But like the leaf set upon the wind, Only our beginnings are pre-determined.  PAUSE… We’re given an origin story, A history to which we’re tethered. Then, either by choice or chance, We’re free to plot our own course. PAUSE… No one decision is better than another. Each one offers new possibilities. The key is to choose what’s right for you, And to ignore what others demand.

LONG PAUSE And once you’re in that perfect position, become aware of your body in bed. Notice where your hands are, and what parts of your back, sink into the sheets. LONG PAUSE Feel your head, in the plush embrace of your pillow, and how deeply comfortable, it feels now. LONG PAUSE Take a minute, and just enjoy these feelings, these feelings of complete comfort, and total relaxation. PAUSE Now, imagine a road and a small car, and the road is narrow and winding, as it snakes its way, into some beautiful rocky hills. PAUSE And as your driving, you notice the steering wheel, iIs not where it normally is:  It’s on the other side. PAUSE And with that realization, another comes: You’re in the beautiful Scottish highlands. PAUSE You roll down the window, and breathe in, cool, refreshing air, noticing a blue sky, with puffs of cloud, sprinkled between the hills. PAUSE As the car drives on, you pass some sheep grazing, and you decide to stop. PAUSE The sheep welcome you, as you come, gently petting them, running your fingers softly, through their fleecy coats. PAUSE After a moment, you hear a collective, “Bah,” and somehow you understand: They are grateful for your visit. PAUSE Back in the car, you drive until you see  a small village sprouting up from the ground. PAUSE As you draw closer to the village, a stone church catches your eye. The church’s gray steeple cuts through the air, towering over the village, reverent, like in prayer. PAUSE You stop for just a moment to see the inside of the church, and are struck by the hundreds of candles flickering under statues and paintings of saints.  PAUSE The air is tinged with incense, and you realize the church  was in service just before  your arrival.  PAUSE You find a quiet spot on a pew, and say a prayer for peace, breathing in the calm and beauty of the little church. Then you return to the car to explore some more. PAUSE As you approach the outskirts of the village, a small tavern on a rocky hill catches your eye, and you stop to warm up. PAUSE Once you arrive, the distinctive sound of bagpipes playing hums in your ear– with notes thick like honey. PAUSE Inside the little pub, men and women sip pints in hand-crafted pewter mugs and laugh. Their cheeks are rosy from the cold air. PAUSE You order a drink and find a seat at a long wooden table where older men talk and talk, completely unaware of the bagpipes playing. PAUSE A woman with flowing red hair approaches you with a steaming bowl of soup teeming with fish, onions and potatoes. PAUSE The soup is warm and cozy, and you can feel it’s soothing heat moving from your mouth to your stomach, and it feels wonderful. PAUSE As you enjoy the last drop  of the warm elixir, you thank the woman who kindly served you, and bid her farewell. There is one more place to see. PAUSE You drive away from the pub into the countryside until a magnificent medieval castle springs from the landscape. PAUSE You stop and go in. The castle is cool, like a cave, and you pull your sweater  around you. PAUSE Throughout the castle are armors from ancestral knights, antique paintings, and chairs of wood or iron. PAUSE You find a room with fireplace and sit next to the burning flame. The warmth is welcome.

Hold it at the top for just a moment, And then exhale,  All the way to the end, Releasing the day. PAUSE… One more deep breath in, Gathering up the thoughts, The plans, The doing, Holding it here for a moment. And then breathe it out, Feeling the tension and darkness leave.  PAUSE… Breathe here for a bit. Gently, Easily. Letting the rhythm slow you down, And relax you.  LONG PAUSE… Within the space of your stillness,  You can easily see, The beauty that surrounds you, The beauty within you.  PAUSE… Lift yourself up, Far above the clouds, And soon you’ll begin to see. The mountains that rise up, And stretch towards the sun, Painted white with snow, And sprawling their massive bodies across the land.  PAUSE… Feel your heart soften, And smile,  As you stand in awe. Feel your mind open, And clear, As you take in its grandness, And feel your connection to it all.  PAUSE… Drink in Mother Nature’s beauty, And feel it flow through you. Reminding you we’re all connected. We all are beautiful.  LONG PAUSE… Within your stillness,  Imagine yourself gathering with the people in your life.  One by one they enter the room, Each of them different,  And full of life.  PAUSE… See if you can simply observe each of them for a bit, Watching their mannerisms,  Their personalities, Their movements.  PAUSE… You’re filled with waves of love, As you witness the beauty in each of them. Each special in their own way, Each being love, Giving love.  PAUSE… You’re reminded of the beauty within your relationships,  Imperfect,  Flawed, And full of the juice of life.  PAUSE… You hug each person, With tenderness, And appreciation, For the beautiful human they are.  LONG PAUSE… Now feel the waves of air, Bringing you life. Listen to your beating heart, Orchestrating your body’s flow.  Beauty lives in every fiber of you, Loudly, Joyfully. PAUSE… Be one with your beautiful body, In complete awe at the wonders it holds.  Let it remind you of your complex magic, And the power each of us holds within it.  PAUSE… So much beauty, Within us, And around us.  💗💗💗 Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors 💗💗💗 Check out all of our other podcasts at https://womensmeditationnetwork.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
